Earlier this week Andrew Lockwood from Amelias Magazine (A daily online magazine focusing on art, music, fashion and earth ) went and met with Jamie McDermot, frontman from the band The Irrepressibles to ask him about his life, his music and the extravagant performance art-style the band is known for.
A long time admirer of this band I was quite exited to do the illustrations to accompany Andrew’s interview with Jamie.

I recently made these character portraits for my friends up north from Piction Media.
They wanted some digital mini-me’s to represent them around the interwebs.
Piction Media do “Artistry and Prose for Brand development” combining Matt’s 17 years of experience in digital illustration with Alison’s copywriting and content creation skills and her background as an independent non-fiction writer.
They also maintain a very nice blog called Planet Piction where they blog on topics such as art, design and branding and they also profile designers and illustrators they have worked with- ooh, for example here’s one about me: Adventures in Helmetgirl’s Vector Verden
I am happy to introduce to you a new pretty destination on the World-wide-web: www.natalitique.com
Natalitique is the home of web developer Natalia Pavlova whom I have had the pleasure of working with on a number of projects. She is the master of details and it seems no matter how impossible a visual you come up with, she can manage to build it.
So I was quite excited when she asked me to help out with the visuals for her new website.
She wanted something clean and uncluttered to reflect what it is she does, namely writing clean, short and clever xhtml and css that works across browsers. No less!
So we made a very white and clean design with a few nice details such as little fancy bullets to spice it up.

To contrast all the white and straight lines we chose to use a coloured background and an illustrated header with a green natural touch- this because of Natalia’s personal interests in ecology and her love of nature.

This week I went to Gibraltar so I decided to finish up this illustration based on a sketch I made on my first visit to Spain and Gibraltar.
The original sketch
And this is what it looks like in real life
Most of my work is character based, so I wanted to have a go at creating something more abstract and based on geometric shapes.
And as it is now – according to the calendar anyway- spring, I thought it appropriate to make something more colourful and happy go lucky than I normally do.
